“Jeremy Hunt is right to say the chances of a disastrous ‘no deal’ Brexit are increasing daily.

“The reason for that is simple to see: nobody is buying into Theresa May’s Chequers car crash proposals while the Government’s appeasement of the Brextremists means that a ‘no deal’ is now the default option as we will leave the EU regardless on 29 March.

“There is only one way out of this now – and that is to concede to the grassroots demand for a People’s Vote on the final Brexit deal and so break the grip of Jacob Rees-Mogg over the country’s future.”
